John 4:1-7 ▼

1 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, just his disciples),

3 he left Judea and returned to Galilee.

4 He had to pass through Samaria.

5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, tired from his journey, sat down there at the well. It was about noon.

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
